- 0:00Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin on this brand new platform.
- 0:06Podbean is now with us. We'd like to thank Spreaker for seven years of an amazing
- 0:11run, but due to some licensing and copyright issues, we were forced to make a decision.
- 0:17And after many days and weeks and months of research, here we are on Podbean,
- 0:23one of the greatest and upcoming brand new, of course, podcasting platforms.
- 0:28And we hope and pray that all of our listeners and followers will follow us here on this platform.
- 0:34Today is November 14th. It's a Thursday.
- 0:37And I'd like to start off by saying thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
- 0:41My medical procedure was a success. I am doing better. today. Today's a better day.
- 0:47I pre-recorded episodes for Tuesday, Monday to, well, it was actually Monday,
- 0:52Tuesday, Wednesday, because I wasn't sure how I was going to feel.
- 0:55And here I am live on Thursday saying, Hey, I am better.
- 0:59I feel amazing. And thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers coming up in exactly 10 days.
- 1:06I will be live from my church yet again, doing a live message, a sermon.
- 1:12It's called Love Your Neighbor, and I hope you all join us for that.
- 1:18Today's message is very simple. Your health. Health is so important.
- 1:22We spoke with Dr. E on Monday, and he was explaining everything to us about
- 1:27our importance of not diagnosing yourself and not self-diagnosing and not Googling everything.
- 1:33We came together and said, But, you know, what we have to do is we have to listen
- 1:37to our doctors. We have to make sure we take the time and make the appointments.
- 1:42Well, our health is very important. And for me, you know, even though it almost
- 1:46feels like almost every other year I'm having a surgery or a procedure,
- 1:50well, that's because I'm always...
- 1:53One step ahead of my health, trying my very best to do what's best for me because
- 1:58I have a family and I have children and I want to see them grow up and I want
- 2:02to see them graduate and I want to see them get married and have successful
- 2:06families and lives and careers.
- 2:08Our health is one of the most important things that we can give back to ourselves.
- 2:13God provided us with this beautiful body that we have and we are here on this
- 2:18world and this earth and the least that we can do is try to take care of ourselves
- 2:23and our families, and of course, the planet we live on.
- 2:27So today, it's very simple. I'm doing better.
- 2:31I am on the men's, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughts and prayers.
